“God.” Gareth’s sigh was the cutest thing I’d ever heard. “That would kill me.”
“Yep, so don’t cross the line because I kind of want to see how desperate you would get if he did it.” Cashel’s honest confession had silence coming from the kitchen for several seconds.
“Yeah, you’re a Dom, alright.” Gareth sounded like he was shuffling around. “Light switches. Man.”
Cashel snorted as Gareth finally came out of the kitchen and remembered I was on the couch. “Oh. Um, hi, Sir.”
How did other Doms manage not to laugh all the time?
“Hello, my curious boy.” Setting my books on the couch, I leaned back and spread my legs, setting a pillow on the floor. “Come kneel for me.”
It might keep him out of trouble for at least a few seconds.
“Yes, Sir.” Having something to do that would make me happy had him worrying less and he perked up as he walked over. “I was helpful in the kitchen.”
Cashel’s snort called that into question but I didn’t point it out.
“I’m so glad you were helpful.” I waited as he cocked his head looking at the pillow on the floor. It only took a moment for him to nod to himself as he studied it like he was getting ready to tackle someone or kick toward a goal.
When he had the motion right in his head, he lowered himself to the floor, more gracefully than I’d expected. I had a boy who’d clearly been doing his research because he even rested his hands on his knees and didn’t fidget for at least ten seconds.
“Beautiful.” Leaning in, I gave him a quick kiss. “Thank you for researching kneeling for me. It makes me feel special and I appreciate how seriously you took it.”
His smile was so bright it was almost glowing. “It made sense and wasn’t scary online. Oh, for future reference, don’t Google BDSM and torture.”
I was the best Dom in the entire world and didn’t laugh at all.
“I bet the results were disturbing.” God only knew what he’d run into. “I won’t do that.”
“Good.” He nodded, looking delightfully serious. “But searches for typical rules from a Dom and manners to use with your Dom weren’t bad. Some were confusing, though.”
That didn’t surprise me.
“I’m impressed with all your research, and I’m going to remind you that you can always come to me with any questions or if there’s just something you want us to look up together.” Just in case it was scarier than he expected.
Blinking, Gareth let out a sigh. “Yeah, I probably should’ve had someone do it with me, but I keep underestimating how weird the internet is.”
That had laughter pouring out of the kitchen.
Gareth shrugged, looking like he understood Cashel’s delight. “If Brady can look things up online, I thought I should be able to. But regular sub stuff is a lot more interesting than little stuff.”
Hmm, he had a point.
Some people would have trouble with things like diapers, but aside from that, it was easy and not scary in the slightest.
“But you are very brave by doing research and smart enough to know when to stop.” People did not always realize how important it was to know that limit.
Boundaries were for our brains too and Gareth needed happy limits around his imagination.
“I was smart.” He paused, then frowned as he looked at me. “Not fast enough with being smart, though.”
“It’s a learning curve.” Deciding he needed a distraction so he didn’t start remembering the scary things he’d found online, I ran my hand over his head and then slowly trailed it around his ear and down his neck.
As he shivered, I dropped my voice lower. “There are all kinds of fun things to learn about, though. Like looking sexy and beautiful as you kneel for me, and the toys like the small flogger I have in the bedroom.”
He’d thought that was fascinating, and I had a feeling he’d be willing to try anything that inched him closer to his spanking.
We both ignored Cashel’s snicker but it was for different reasons. Gareth was looking at me stunned, so I wasn’t sure he’d heard anything. It took a few seconds for him to process, but eventually, he nodded slowly. “Yes…I…yes, I’m curious about fun things.”
It was such a wonderful understatement I gave him another kiss.
He was so vested in making sure he didn’t lose the opportunity to explore something new he swallowed and licked his lips as I sat back. “I like learning.”
“You do.” I kept skimming the pads of my fingers over his head and down his neck, taking my time. “Would you like to learn a few new things with me?”
Gareth swallowed again, looking thoughtful as he glanced over my shoulder toward the kitchen.
Cashel.
“I…Cash is making dinner?” The question said everything and nothing, leaving me to guess what he meant.
